Combining solid community values and a naturally competitive nature, with the savvy of a marketing management graduate, Leon Schrader has all the right tools for success in buying and selling your home.

Leon built his own dog walking business while studying at university; he has been the driver behind a successful kayaking business; a business manager in the tourism industry; and, more recently, a business development manager in Property Management where he has advised clients on investment property management.

An early employer once boasted that Leon works to the same effectiveness as a business owner. He has lost none of that drive in performing to his best ability for real estate clients.

Growing up in Golden Bay to a German family, Leon is community-minded sharing the same family values as the Bayley’s Real Estate brand. He is honest and down to earth with a strong work ethic. Leon values excellence and does not stop working for clients until he has achieved the best possible results.

Leon is consistently striving to be a better version of himself. He is an avid and active sportsperson with an enviable golf handicap; he has competed in rock-climbing at national level and organised international climbing expeditions. He thrives on challenges and enjoys pushing his limits both in sport and real estate.

A fluent German speaker, Leon is a member of the German Chamber of Commerce and has travelled extensively visiting extended family around the world.

Leon brings six years of industry experience, combining punctuality, straightforwardness, and an uncompromising commitment to high-quality work. Specialising in the East Coast Bays, and New Builds around Auckland backed with a BCom in Marketing, he has honed his skills with top-performing sales teams and in-house roles for development companies.

By his side is Zelda, his loyal and spirited canine companion. Her friendly presence adds warmth to every interaction, making clients feel instantly at ease. Together, they offer a unique blend of professionalism and personal touch that sets them apart.

Leon believes in cutting through the noise with clear, honest advice. No fluff, no unnecessary jargon—just straightforward guidance to help you make informed decisions. He's on a mission to elevate the standard of marketing in the Bays area, infusing creativity into every listing with attention-grabbing hooks and top-tier photos and videos.

Inspired by seeing friends' parents retire without financial security, Leon is passionate about helping people build wealth through real estate. He seeks an integrated lifestyle where his professional ambitions align with his love for Zelda and a genuine commitment to his clients.

With Leon's expertise and Zelda's friendly presence, you can have the confidence your real estate journey will be one of clarity and precision, with a little bit of joy for good measure.
